4 Super Sweet Lip Colors To Try This Valentine’s Day

Hi lovelies,

It’s been a while since my last blog posts, and I’m so, so sorry. For those of you that are full-time students, I’m sure you know the struggle of keeping up with your schoolwork and blog-work! 😛

It’s Valentine’s Day next week. I’m sure we all have different plans. Whether you’re going to paint the town red with your girls or stay in for a cozy night with your special someone (in my case – my cat), here are some classic and not-so-traditional lip colors to rock on the day of love.

 SIMPLE BUT SWEET

This nude baby pink shade by Tarte Cosmetics (one of my favorite cruelty-free,”eco-chic” companies) offers high pigmentation that’s going to last all throughout the day. It has a velvety, matte finish that’s not drying – exactly what we all look for in a lip stain.

ROSY RED

You can never go wrong with a bold red lip. Prep the lips with a lip scrub like this Lush Valentine’s Day lip polisher. Then use a lip balm like this lip conditioner infused with Vitamin E and rosemary extract before applying the lip color to ensure intense color payoff. Using this NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil  in the shade Dragon Girl, create a precise lip shape following the contour of your lips. If you want to create an illusion of fuller, larger looking lips, outline just a little outside your natural lip line. Fill in your lips with the pencil and blot with an oil absorbing sheet to pick up any residue oils on your lips, reapply, and blot again. This will make sure your lip color stays in place and doesn’t slip and slide.

INNOCENT PINK

This lip color is probably the only one on this list I’ll be rocking myself  🙂 If you want just a hint of color on your lips, try Maybelline’s Baby Lips Lip Gloss in Pink Pizazz.

PRETTY PURPLES

It seems a bit unexpected for this holiday, but magenta, violet, and plum shades are on trend this year. It compliments those with darker skin tones well. A full coverage, soft lipstick is your holy grail beauty product.
